Avalanche danger is low. In steep terrain, small wet loose-snow avalanches and isolated glide-snow (magnitude 1 & 2) avalanches are possible. Small snowdrift accumulations can trigger at high altitudes esp. by large additional loading. The danger of falling outweighs that of snow masses. Beware steep discontinuities in the terrain!
Atop a moist old snowpack, 5-10 cm of fresh snow fell at high altitudes, was transported by strong W/N winds. Bonding is favorable. At intermediate altitudes the snowpack has already been thoroughly moistened repeated times. Below 1400 m there is hardly any snow on the ground. Gliding snow activity will increase somewhat.
Nighttime skies will be overcast. A moderate NW wind will be blowing. On Tuesday, scattered clouds, often sunny but windy. The NW winds will be blowing at 30-40 km/hr. Dry. At 2000 m: -2 to +1 degree.
On Wednesday, very sunny, hardly any wind, warm. Wet-snow problem, particularly on very steep sunny slopes.
